The Identity Management Forum focuses on promoting effective, open standardsbased identity management, which allows the right information on identity to reach the right people. The authentication of identities are essential requirements in information security solutions, and the efficient and secure management of identity information is a critical prerequisite to enabling todays business demands for effective access control and provision management in their IT systems. In todays business operations, best practice on identity management is an expectation that is enforced by increasingly strong legal and regulatory requirements backed by IT audit, where penalties for noncompliance are severe.
